| Trump Orchestrates Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Deal, U.S. Involvement in the Caucasus Mountains |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| President Donald Trump orchestrated yet another peace deal on Friday, coaxing Armenia and Azerbaijan to settle decades of differences with the prospect of an economic windfall - of which America would take its own slice. This strategic settlement also siphons support away from America's adversaries out of their own backyard, prying the Caucasus states away from the influence of Russia and Iran. |

| The Roots of Violence in the Nation's Capital |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| The liberal media is abuzz with alarm about President Trump's announcement that he is interjecting federal law enforcement resources into the nation's capital to restore public safety. The rhetoric is, as always, high from the partisans who want to portray Trump's actions as the onset of authoritarianism. There's a nest of problems with this view, beginning with the fact that the District of Columbia is a federal enclave, over which the Congress of the United States is constitutionally entitled to exercise jurisdiction and adopt laws for the good of the people who work and reside there. The second problem is more straightforward: the District of Columbia is a place where serious crime has run rampant for years. |

| by Sarah Holliday |
| A decade after the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, the possibility of its reversal has reemerged in public discourse.

| The Boy Who Cried 'Dictator!' |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| It is, perhaps, little surprise that President Donald Trump has been called a "dictator" after announcing his federal takeover of Washington, D.C. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) glibly referred to Trump as "an aspiring dictator," Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) claimed that the president "is grabbing power like a dictator," and D.C. Young Democrats chief Jamal Holtz called the effort to rid the city of crime "a racist power grab" and "dictator control." Over the past decade in particular, though, the word has lost its meaning, largely due to gross overuse. |

| Report: Trump Debanked by a Dozen Banks at Biden's Behest |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Hot on the heels of a new executive order "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans," a new report alleges that the Biden administration's efforts to debank President Donald Trump went much further than previously reported. According to the New York Post, then-President Joe Biden and his administration succeeded in 2021 in pressuring at least 12 financial institutions to either refuse to do business with Trump or close accounts that he already had with the banks. Two of the banks, JPMorganChase and Bank of America, have previously been publicly named by Trump. |
